Horseback Riding
in Similkameen Country
Horse use
has been traditional on the historic trails in Manning
Provincial Park. Staging areas for horses have been cleared at Cayuse
Flats, the Dewdney trailhead, and the Monument 83 parking
area. Trail riders can camp overnight at Grant Camp, at the intersection
of the Hope and Grainger Creek Trails, and at Paradise Valley, in
the Cascade Recreation Area (access via Manning Provincial Park). Trail
rides are available during summer months and hay rides during winter.
The park has rain forests on its west side and grassland
slopes on its east. Between the two extremes lies a land
of wild rivers, crystal lakes, towering peaks, and alpine
meadows. Small mammals, including marmots, beavers, and
chipmunks, share the wilderness area with black bears,
mule deer, and coyotes. Beavers, elk and moose reside
in the park but are seldom seen. As always in wilderness
areas, riders, hikers and campers should be alert for
wild animals, especially bears, and take the necessary
safety precautions.
Manning Provincial Park straddles Highway 3 between Hope
and Princeton. The park's
western entrance is 16 miles east of Hope, its eastern entrance 30 miles
southwest of Princeton. For more information stop by the Manning Provincial
Park Visitors Centre, situated just east of the Manning Provincial Park
Resort on Highway 3 it's open daily throughout the year.
